Situtation: Lazy weekend. Chillin' on the couch with Noggin's finest (Little Bear, Wonder Pets, etc.). I am reading a magazine with background noise and my husband is playing a game with our 2-year-old son. Apparently "knock knock" jokes were floating around daycare that week.
Son: "Knock, knock"
Me: thinking (aw, how cute...his first knock knock joke)
Son: "Me...and i want a drink"
Resolution: Really???!!!! That's it???!!! You wanted a drink and had to put it in knock knock form? I understand that you get the concept (or the reaction that you were looking for) but apparently everyone's a comedian. I look at my husband and he shrugs while smirking.
After laughing for about 4 minutes, i get up and get him the drink he so longingly wants. But i have to reflect. This mini me wants something and sets it up so he gets it. He jokes, he gets me where he wants me and then "BAM" throws a one-liner my way. He plays me better than i play myself.
I learn every day that i have to keep up or i'll be lost. What is hot today will be old news tomorrow. Since Saturday he hasn't said another "knock, knock" joke. Instead he just "wants a drink". Of course he does...he's two. Sheesh - i'm 32 and i want a drink...should put it in "knock, knock" form and see where it gets me.
Next i guess i'll expect "knock, knock cupcake or icecream" jokes. But regardless...it was one of the cutest and hilarious things i have ever seen. He got his drink, i got my chuckle.
Where do they come up with these things???!!!
